Erich Remash opens Midcentury home to the forest

The center of the home had been encumbered by a stairwell. Architect Erich Remash removed it, and the living spaces opened wide. Backsplash tiles the color of bricks, 5 inches by 19 inches, are Koi from Ann Sacks. Remash designed the blackened-steel exhaust hood. The island, cabinets and floor are bamboo.
